JOINED THE PROCESSION. .
Stewart Bros. Architectural Iron Works Plant
Commenced Operations With Fifty Hands.

Last February Messrs. R. c. and W. A.
Stewart visited the city on prospecting
tour. They also took in number of boom
ing towns in the state Not long after they
arrived in Wichita they decided that they
had stopped at lively city. That fact
struck them more and more forcible as the
days passed by. They remained in the city
several days and then left on return trip.
Near the first of April they decided to 10
cate in business in this city. They had then
been engaged in the iron business for over
fifteen wears. Their father, r. c. Stewart,
ST., moved to Covington in the days OF %
and started in the same business. Being IA
miliar with the business in all its minute
details, they decided to start in business for
themselves.
Having decided to operate an architectural
iron plant in Wichita, they commenced lm-
mediately to make arrangements to that end.
1t will be remembered that mention OF the
fact was made in the EAGLE near that date.
A building site was secured at 80, South
Fourth avenue and building erected with
front of twenty-five feet, ninety feet deep
and two stories high. By the time that was
completed all the machinery had arrived
The plant has been in operation
for some days. The plant at present
gives employment to fifty men and COST
near $4,000. The machinery is run by ten
horsepower engine and boiler. The punch
ing machine has a capacity OF thirty men
holes in iron one inch thick per minute. The
shears cut four-inch bars one inch square per
minute. The joint and bolt cutter is OF the
latest improved style, so also is the drilling
machine. The plant is supplied with all
kinds of light machinery used in that bust
ness
The company expects to increase its plant
lust as fast as the business de-
mands. The business SO Tar
has made it evident that just
such an enterprise was needed in the city.
The ..proprietors are well pleased with the
business outlook and expect at an early date
to increase the plant As lest they can
Judge the city and surrounding country
ought to give enough work of that sort to
give constant employment to at least two
hundred men. They affirm spiritedly
that they came to stay and are glad that
they decided to join the procession in the
gowing, booming and boomiest city in the
great west.

very freqsent inquiries regarding Wichita
and felt very much encouraged at the praise
bestowed upon the princess by persons who
had an intelligent understanding of the coun-

who had returned from tour of inspection
of Wichita, Birmingham, Findlay, O., and
several other of the booming pisces, and was
delighted to hear them all unite in saying
that Wichita had the most genuine and the
most solid boom, and that the substantial

GAINING OR LOSING A DAY.

In sailing around the world east
ward the days are a little less than
twenty-tour hours, according to tie
speed of the ship, as the sun is met
with every morning a little earlier.
These little differences added togeth-
er will amount in the course of the
circumnavigation to twenty-four
hours, giving the sailors an extra
day, not immigration, but in sober
truth, as they will actually eaten an
extra days food and consumed an
extra days grog. On the other
hand, IN sailing westward, the sun
is overtaken little each day, and so
each day is rather longer than TWEEN
ty-tour hours, and the clocks and
watches are found to be too fast.
This also will amount, in sailing
round to the starting point again, to
one whole day, by which the reckon
ing has fallen in arrears. The east
ern ship, then, has gained day and
the western has lost one, leading to
the apparent paradox, that the form
er ship has clear gain OF two whole
days over the latter, supposing them
to have started and returned togeth-
er.-Chambers Journal.

A TASTE FOR THE HORRIBLE.

The taste for the grotesque and
horrible that leads men to wear
skulls for scarf pins and collins for
sleeve buttons, that induces a dainty
girl to choose a dress with snakes
outlined on it, and metal spider
perched at her throat, has got into
architecture. The writer went to
call, and, mounting the steps, laid a
hand carelessly on the iron rail that
meandered up the stone stoop. 1t

round the balustrade. The whole
row of fine houses had tie same sort
Of approach, and twisting about all
the hand rails was the vile serpent,
with battened head and balefnl eyes
natural and hideous enough to
make one afraid to enter or leave the
